DTM Cheat Sheet v2
Variables are used to dynamically insert text into
site tags (like an eVar or event). Variables are
wrapped in %...% syntax.
Below are some of the most commonly used methods
in JavaScript. Note that many DTM implementations
don’t even use JS, but just in case…
JavaScript Regular Expressions
use selected element
use child element
%this.[attribute]%
%target.[attribute]%
Dynamically insert the title and inner HTML for:
<a title=”link” href=”/”><p>Hello!</p></a>
title
%this.title%
Output
link
inner HTML
%target.innerHTML%
Output
Hello!
Other example uses:
href
class
alt
src
inner text
trimmed inner text
custom attribute
%this.href%
%this.className%
%this.alt%
%this.src%
%this.@text%
%this.@cleanText%
%this.getAttribute(name)%
Note: %this.@getAttribute(name)% where “name” is
replaced with any element’s custom attribute.
Other useful variables:
URL pathname
URL hostname
URL protocol
%URI%
%hostname%
%protocol%
Data Elements are an alternative way of setting a
variable. These are most useful when you use
value(s) across multiple rules.
using data elements in a rule
%Element Name%
set a data element
_satellite.setVar(“Element Name”,value);
get a data element
_satellite.getVar(“Element Name”);
Note: Each time you call a data element, DTM
tries to reset the value. If you need to store a
value more permanently, use cookies (below).
Cookies store values over a certain period of time.
They are similar to Data Elements, but instead
allow you to set a cookie memory in days (integer).
set a cookie
_satellite.setCookie(“Cookie Name”,value,days);
get a cookie
_satellite.readCookie(“Cookie Name”);
declare regex variable
var RegEx = /pattern/mod
modifier
/g
/i
/s
/m
function
global matching
case insensitive
single line mode
multi line mode
getElementById(‘id’)
getElementsByClassName(‘’)
getElementsByTagName(‘a’)
switch statement
switch(i){
case n:
some action;
break;
default:
some action;
}
for…next loop
for(i=0;i<10;i++){some
action}
Bonus!
cross-browser trim
hide browsing activity from DTM
localStorage.setItem(‘hide_activity’,true);
Note: Messages from _satellite.notify() are only
viewable in Debug mode. Additionally, the 1-5
integer sets the importance level of the message.
get the date of the last publish
_satellite.buildDate;
Regular Expressions (RegEx) is a method of
matching that can be used within DTM (and
JavaScript and others) to select groups of text.
Core Patterns
_satellite.cleanText(‘text’);
Below are some common jQuery methods. If
available, consider using Sizzle as a selector.
prefixes
$(this)
$(‘id’)
$(‘.class’)
$(‘div’)
$(‘div.class’)
enable debug mode (useful to QA rules)
_satellite.setDebug(true);
get the date of the last publish
_satellite.publishDate;
JavaScript Logic Tests
if statement
if(i<0){some action}
else if(i<1){some action}
else{some action}
enable staging library in production
localStorage.setItem(‘sdsat_stagingLibrary’,true);
cross-browser compatible console.log()
_satellite.notify(‘text to display’,[1-5]);
JavaScript Selectors
get element by id
get elements by class
get elements by tag
DTM has useful functions built into the platform
that help QA tags. The code below can be used in
functions or typed directly into your console.
targeting
.parents()
.children()
.siblings()
.find()
selectors
$(“div img”)
$(“div>img”)
$(“a[title=’equals’]”)
$(“a[title!=’noequal’]”)
$(“a:first”)
$(“ul:last li:last”)
$(“ul li:first-child”)
$(“[id*=’contains’]”)
$(“[class$=’ends’]”)
$(“[id^=’begins’]”)
$(“:checked”)
$(“:selected”)
Bonus!
efficient $(this).text();
suffixes
.text()
.html()
.val()
.attr()
function
select all img within div
only direct img children
anchor title equals string
title doesn’t equal string
select 1st anchor element
select last ul of last li
first li of every ul
id contains string
class ends with string
id begins with string
selects all checked boxes
selects active inputs
pattern
.
*
+
?
^
$
|
{…}
[…]
[^…]
(…)
\
function
match any character
0 or more of previous expression
1 or more of previous expression
0 or 1 of previous expression
start of string
end of string
“OR” match on both sides
explicit quantifier notation
explicit character set match
NOT one of the characters in set
logical grouping of expression parts
precedes characters above; makes
special character literal
Examples
pattern
[abc]
[a-z]
[A-Z]
[0-9]
{3}
{3.9}
{3,}
function
matches a or b or c
match any letter from a-z (lowercase)
match letter from A-Z (uppercase)
matches any number from 0-9
matches 3 of preceding expression
matches 3-9 of preceding expression
matches 3 or more
